Corinna Russell specializes in the study of English literature, focusing on the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Her research interests cover a broad range of themes, including poetry, the novel, genre, style, and form. She is particularly fascinated by the ways in which reading invites response, and engages in interdisciplinary studies that connect literature with visual culture, music, theology, and philosophy. Currently, her work revolves around the analysis of repetition in the representational arts of the Romantic period, where she examines concepts related to tautology and redundancy in poetic diction, as well as iterability and narrative style. Corinna also delves into how habitual rituals shape the everyday discourse within poetry and visual arts. She has a keen interest in authors like Byron, Keats, Dickens, Wordsworth, and Hazlitt, particularly within the context of Romantic poetry and poetics. Corinna contributes to the supervision of PhD candidates in 18th-century Romantic studies and teaches English literature at the MPhil level.
